tromodol vs. vicodin

by losfeliz1970, Sep 28, 2007 11:00AM
hi everybody.  
i am about 7 weeks clean from taking 3-4 7.5mg vicodins a day for 7 YEARS.
i am having surgery next week.  there will be lots of pain durring recovery and i will need to take some pills.
i never want to go through withdrawls again!  i will take sparingly and have someone to monitor me.
my fear is going through withdrawls again.  i am only going to allow myself one a day.  my doc knows about my previous addiction.  question for everybody is:
if i need to take one a day, which would i have less chances of going through withdrawls from,
tromodoll- 25mg a day, or vicodin- 7.5mg a day????

thanks for your help

losfeliz,
Tram withdrawal takes longer then vikes there is bad depression and panic attacks.  With Vikes i was feeling so much better at like day three with  tram it was close to a week and it just brought on this horrible depression.
Losfeliz, now some people don't have a problem with tram at all . I am not sure if you want to take the chance however.
